Manufacturing simulation
Take over and run a facility that manufactures sporting goods.
To be successful in manufacturing, a business must first produce a product that meets a consumer demand. Quality control, profit margins and effective marketing will all play a role in determining how successful the enterprise becomes.
Outline
Our sporting goods manufacturer has been in operation for two years when participants take it over. The company owns three factories and has the opportunity to buy two more during the simulation. Each factory commences with one employee team on single shifts, working under standard management systems.
The challenge
The business must run at a profit. Participants need to make decisions based on revenues and the cost of production.
Suitability
The Manufacturing Simulation is designed for secondary school (years 9, 10, 11 & 12) and tertiary students.
